On December 1st 2019, the first day of Summer in VK, Sporadic E opened up across the country on the 50 MHz and 144 MHz ham radio bands. I managed to get the camera out and record some contacts.

Using WSPRView, Leigh VK2KRR and myself identified short high MUF paths building on 50 MHz which would allow propagation on 144 MHz.
